Officials are intensifying their search for the Northern California woman who went missing while hiking Mount Tamalpais in late March.
Marin County Searh and Rescue Team authorities are ramping up efforts to find 33-year-old Magdalena Glinkowski, when went missing on Friday. Ground and air efforts have been launched, while eight search dogs and teams from the Bay Area Mountain Rescue Team, Contra Costa and Alameda Sheriff's offices have also started combing through the area.
Sheriff's Lt. Doug Pittman told the Marin Independent Journal that authorities had brought on more people to search for Glinkowski.
"We have over 100 searchers right now on Mount Tamalpais searching every possible area where she might have gotten lost," Pittman said on Sunday.
Park rangers first took note of the missing Menlo Park woman on Friday, when they discovered an abandoned car left in a parking lot called "Bootjack" close to the Pantoll Campsite on Mount Tamalpais, Pittman told the Independent.
Authorities found out the vehicle was rented in her name.
"We are going on the assumption that she might have gotten lost or hurt," Pittman said this weekend. "There has been a lot of rain, and trails can become slippery."
Glinkowski was last seen on video footage from March 30, when she was recorded walking through the parking lot where officials later found her vehicle.
She wore a bright pink pullover top, black-and-white sneakers and light blue shorts in the video. Authorities have described her as white, about 5'7" and 120 pounds.
Menlo Park police reportedly found a message Glinkowski had left for her landlord telling him she was going hiking on the day she was last seen.
The Sheriff's lieutenant told the Independent that the California Highway Patrol and Marin County Sheriff's Air Patrol were keeping watch in the sky.
Anyone with information on this missing woman should contact the Marin County Sheriff's Investigations Unit at (415) 473-7250.
